Square-headed paired window openings with render sills shared between pairs. One-over-one pane timber sliding sash windows. Elliptical-headed window opening with moulded render hoodmoulding, render sill and bipartite one-over-one pain timber sliding sash windows with spoked fanlight over. Square-headed window openings to bay window, with render sills and one-over-one pane timber sliding sash windows. Elliptical-headed door opening with moulded render hoodmoulding over supported by render pilasters flanking replacement uPVC panelled door with timber panelled sidelights and spoked fanlight.

This classically proportioned house retains many features which contribute to its charm and character. The building's façade is enlivened by the gabled bay which distinguishes the central bay and highlights the elliptical-arched openings to first floor window and to the door at ground floor level. The fanlights to these openings create a feeling of light and space which is emblematic of the architecture of the late Georgian period.
